Later in his career Wayne made a few guest appearances on popular TV shows such as Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In, I Love Lucy (Lucy and Ethel stole Wayne's footprints from Grauman' Chinese Theater), and Maude (does anyone else remember the 'hairy coaster'?). He also made a public announcement commercial on the importance of regular cancer screening and early detection. But Wayne never starred in a TV series.

It's possible that you may be thinking about a couple of Wayne's friends. Ward Bond who was friends with Wayne since their college days at USC starred on The Wagon Train until his death in the late 1960s. Or James Arness, who many thought resembled Wayne, starred on the long running series Gunsmoke.

He did record an introduction for the "Gunsmoke" series. It played prior to the first episode, introducing James Arness to the television audience.
